HC Deb 18 July 1975 vol 895 c623W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the statutes under which he has power to issue a specific, as district from general, direction.

Mr. Crosland

No. The cost of providing such a list would be excessive and, in my view, unjustified. If the hon. Member has some particular subject in mind I will see if the relevant information can be provided.
